Please See All Photos. ~ Vintage 1969 TOP OF THE WORLD is a novel of life and adventure among the Polar Eskimos-a small and scattered race who have not changed their mode of living since the world was young. In that distant land near the magnetic North Pole there are more bears than Eskimos; the nights are six months long and the moral customs of the people are often almost exactly opposite to our own. If you're squeamish in matters hygienic, dietetical, sexual or obstetric, you had perhaps better not tackle the book at all. For Eskimos are primitive folk. But the skill with which Hans Ruesch has entered into the loves and adventures of an 'outlandish' people.is a brilliant feat of poetic imagination. Seller Inventory # 011686
